Index to Death Notices in the

Nunda (Crystal Lake) Herald 1896-1900

The Herald newspaper was originally called the Nunda Herald and occasionally the Algonquin Herald. On 11 June 1908 it became the Crystal Lake Herald.

The following indexes represent a list of deceased individuals whose notice of death appeared in the weekly Herald newspaper. Information was gleaned from obituaries, death notices, police reports, and newspaper articles and is not necessarily limited to residents of Crystal Lake and/or Nunda Township. It was not unusual for a death notice to appear months and even years after the event, particularly in the case of war dead. Researchers should scan several indexes when searching for the name of a specific individual and look for variant spellings within each index.

Copies of the obituaries can be obtained by writing to the Illinois State Historical Library, Old State Capitol, Springfield IL 62701. There is a charge; please contact the library for more information.

Microfilm of the original newspaper can be obtained on inter-library loan from the Illinois State Historical Library—contact your local library for further information.
